Vauxhall Crossland X (2017-2020) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Lots of equipment, whichever trim you choose	Not very exciting to drive
Well priced used examples	Some reliability issues
Spacious inside for a relatively small car	The non-turbo 1.2-litre model is slow

Quick Summary

The Vauxhall Crossland X (2017-2020) is a compact crossover SUV that replaces the Meriva MPV with a more contemporary design. It sits below the larger Grandland X and alongside the Mokka X, offering front-wheel drive practicality aimed at families. The interior is exceptionally spacious for its size, with generous headroom and legroom. Some models feature sliding rear seats to prioritise either legroom or the impressive 520-litre boot space, whilst higher-end variants include a movable boot floor. Interior quality is reasonable, with all models equipped with a touchscreen infotainment system featuring Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto connectivity.

On the road, the Crossland X balances agility with comfort effectively. The suspension absorbs poor road surfaces well whilst remaining composed through corners, though the steering can feel vague. Its light steering makes town manoeuvring easy, which is likely a priority for most owners. Diesel models offer the best fuel economy, with newer 1.5-litre engines achieving up to 61.4mpg. Turbocharged petrols match non-turbo consumption figures officially but deliver better real-world efficiency. Running costs are very reasonable, with insurance groups between eight and 19, and servicing costs between £205 and £435. No model exceeded £40,000 when new, resulting in a flat Vehicle Excise Duty rate.

Best for: Families seeking a spacious, well-equipped compact SUV with excellent value, and those prioritising practicality and equipment over driving excitement.

Not ideal for: Buyers seeking an engaging driving experience, those concerned about reliability, or those wanting a non-turbo 1.2-litre petrol engine with adequate performance.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Crossland X if: You're seeking a spacious, well-equipped compact SUV with excellent value, and prioritise practicality and equipment over driving excitement.

Consider alternatives if: You want an engaging driving experience, are concerned about reliability, or require a non-turbo 1.2-litre petrol engine with adequate performance.

Competitive Position: The Vauxhall Crossland X (2017-2020) is a strong contender in the compact crossover market, offering excellent value and generous equipment across numerous trim levels. Whilst it won't excite keen drivers, its spacious interior, well-priced used examples, and reasonable running costs make it an attractive proposition for families. The Renault Captur edges ahead with a higher expert rating and overall score, whilst the Nissan Juke Mk2 matches the Crossland X's ratings. However, reliability concerns warrant thorough inspection before purchase, and test driving against rivals is essential.
